PIECE OF MINE Arts Production with the support of Theatre Passe Muraille

The Negroes are Congregating poses an unapologetic and impolite perspective about the ongoing effects of racism in Canada and around the world. Delivered through a fusion of spoken word, satire, and soulful dialect, audiences are invited to experience raw truths up close and personal – leaving them with an understanding of what it means to be Black, proud, and ready.

Each performance will include audience discussion.

Venue:

Mainspace Theatre  |  16 Ryerson Ave.

Running Time:

90 minutes

(65 min. show + a post-show discussion)

February-March 2020

March 5th | Black Out

March 5th’s performance of The Negroes are Congregating will be exclusively for a Black audience. The spirit behind this evening is to provide a space for Black theatre-goers to experience a show for them, by them. The Negroes are Congregating episodically explores the many joys and hardships of being Black in Canada and in the world. We believe this evening can act as an opportunity to proudly bring to life the heart of this show.
